A New Policing Authority's Being Set Up

18 May 2015

The new Policing Authority will advertise for staff next month - it hopes to have its first meetings in September. The Justice Minister has published the Bill to set up the Garda Siochana Policing Authority. Frances Fitzgerald describes it as the most far reaching reform of the force since the foundation of the state. It'll hold the Garda Commissioner to account on policing matters and will have a role in senior appointments.
